Hermes was ordered to kill the 100 eyed monster (Argus) that had been sent by Hera to follow one of Zeus' lovers. He eventually did so by playing his Flute to put him to sleep. When all of his eyes were closed, Hermes killed him.
When Hera found the monster dead she took all of its eyes and attached them to a bird known as the Peacock. The Peacock thus became her symbol as it reminded her of her faithful servant, Argus (the 100 eyed monster).

The peacock is associated with Hera because of its beauty and symbolism of royalty and power. In Greek mythology, Hera was considered the queen of the gods, and the peacock's vibrant feathers were seen as representing her regal and majestic nature. Additionally, the eyespots on the peacock's feathers were believed to symbolize the all-seeing eyes of the goddess.
